[Commotion-dev] Slides from recent presentation on the wifi deployment at this year's Burning Man

[Alexander Chemeris]

Hi Ben,

I heard it was crashing repeatedly last year and didn't improve much
since than, even in their proprietary version. So I would be glad if
it was an OsmoBTS. At least it's stable. I've changed my preference to
Osmocom projects for a lot of reasons. I'll tell more at the meeting
in DC on Mon.
